- set amongst the riff mountains and relatively close to tangiers (3-4 hour bus), chefchaoun is deservedly popular with young spainards popping away for a couple of days.

- little big of a seedy drug culture around, had a couple of unpleasant run-ins with unsavoury characters; much more so than anywhere else we visited in morocco which was a shame.

- no denying this is a gorgeous town; stunning mountain sunsets, blue-washed traditional buildings, stacks of hiking options, ancient walled area complete with a mini-medina and a striking kasbah... enjoyed our two nights, three days here.
